“This item is throw blanket-like instead of thick like a traditional beach towel, so it’s more prone to blow around on a windy day if you don’t have something to weigh down the four corners. However, it’s such quality material and so soft, and it does shake off dirt and sand easily. For your average day on the beach, or as a blanket to lay out for a picnic at the park or an outdoor live music venue, it’s perfect. I definitely recommend if you’re looking for something light, soft, and blanket-y.”
